Switch to second-line therapy in the CHIPS cohort

Dr Kate Lee

MRC Clinical Trials Unit

On behalf of the Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study (CHIPS) Steering Committee

Aims

• Describe characteristics of switch to second-line therapy– Investigate predictors of switch– Explore CD4 and viral load at switch– Assess timing of switch with respect to viral load

thresholds

Methods

• Children starting HAART naïve

• Switch defined as:– Switching 3+ drugs– Switching 2+ drugs with reason recorded as failure– with VL>50

Methods (cont’d)

• Median time to switch in children initiating HAART naive – Kaplan-Meier

• Predictors of switch – Cox model– Sex– Characteristics at HAART initiation– Ever achieved suppression <400 copies/ml

• Comparison of timing of switch with reaching viral load thresholds

Population (595 children)

Children switching = 132

Median (range) follow-up = 3.1 yrs (0-8.2 yrs)

Median age at HAART initiation = 5.6 (0-18)

Overall median time to switch

7.2 years

Independent predictors of earlier switch

• Failure to ever achieve suppression <400 copies/mlHR = 7.5 [5.0-11.3] vs achieving suppression p<0.0001

• Older at HAART initiationHR = 1.1 [1.0-1.1] p=0.03 per year older

• Later calendar year at HAART initiationHR = 2.1 [1.1-4.0] for 2002-05 vs 1997-99 p=0.03

• No independent effects of sex or age, CD4%, HIV-1 RNA or prior CDC B/C events at HAART initiation

• Switching somewhere between 1000 and 30,000c/ml but no clear level

Conclusions

• Low rate of switching to second-line– Children never achieving virological suppression switch

faster than those who had achieved suppression– Older children switch faster than younger children– Children starting HAART more recently also switch faster

• Little consistency in CD4 and viral load thresholds at switch– Children achieving virological suppression tend to switch at

lower viral loads and higher CD4s– …but wide variation in both

• No clear viral threshold being used to trigger switch.
